Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

Guests at the hostel will be able to enjoy activities in and around Mountmellick, like hiking and cycling. It was a very cool experience staying in the Forum Mountmellick. The bedrooms were very clean and the beds super comfy. The kids loved the bunk beds. The power in the showers was super. The renovated church, kitchen and eating areas were all fantastic and there was a lovely calm and relaxed atmosphere throughout the accommodation. Our host Colette was extremely welcoming and a great source of information about the local area. The accommodation is a great base to visit loads of really great attractions in Loais and there are some lovely takeaways in the town too, so you can bring dinner back and enjoy in the Forum. Overall our stay was fantastic and we would highly recommend staying at the Forum Mountmellick.

In the heart of Dublin, Abbey Court is the best located hostel on O’Connell Bridge. Come enjoy a €5.50 pint of Guiness in our bar after a day of taking in the nearby sites of Dublin, you won't find a cheaper pint of Guiness elsewhere! We were amazed by the breakfast!

Abigail's hostel has private rooms and shared dormitories for budget-conscious travellers. Each room has an en suite shower and toilet. Abigail's has communal areas, free Wi-Fi, free bed linen and imposes no curfew. There is also a self-catering kitchen and vending machines. Location was incredible. Just having the luxury of spending the night at the most central part of Dublin for that price makes the hostel worth it. The fact that the facilities, rooms and personel were of good quality as well, makes it better.

Situated in Drogheda and with Bru na Boinne Visitor Centre reachable within 8.5 km, Peggy Moores features a terrace, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is located 8.6 km from Monasterboice, 10 km from Sonairte Ecology Centre and 10 km from Dowth. Slane Castle is 16 km away and Hill of Slane is 16 km from the hostel. The staff were immediately helpful, allowing us to check in early as the room was ready, to drop bags while we explored around. They called a taxi for us. Recommended restaurant options. Generally made everything smooth and easy. I wasn't aware that a breakfast was included, so unfortunately we missed that! The beds were very comfortable and the room and attached bathroom were just perfect. It was also surprisingly quiet, being so close to the main shopping streets. Easy walk up the hill from the bus and train station. There's also a great little grocery store just a minute walk from Peggy Moores.
